‘The biggest struggle for me was no one around me really could help. I didn’t have that support structure, that network or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me,’ he said, while taking a jab at the Royal family.

Through candid interviews, he reveals his own struggles, growth, and contemplation on the multifaceted nature of his role and identity, inviting viewers into his journey of self-discovery.
His raw revelations emphasize the psychological toll military service can exact and contributes to broader conversations about mental health among veterans.
